Shorted Stocks

Cute Hoor

I am going to suggest that we have a separate topic for the Shorting phenomena, and leave the Share Picks 2021 for the normal run of the mill stuff, might make it easier to follow both.

Feel free to ignore my suggestion of course

thanks, but forgive my stupidity, how do you calculate the interest rate from that? Eg Gamestock had a 138% short interest rate

they have 31m shares shorted 60m market cap so about 50% of the shares are shorted so unlikely that there would be a short Squeeze but watch the share price rise as people pump money into it.

I am no expert but surely hedge funds are about to short the absolute **** out of Gamestock right now and just wait for its inevitable crash?

Gaemstop up over 1500% this year or something crazy as hedge funds have to buy the stock to hedge their short positions. Hedge funds losing billions.

This is a distortion of the market that will not end well, including for the retail investors as some or many of them will end up holding the bag.

Anyone know where to find the short interest rate for NAKD? I can't find it anywhere, even if its a report from December? Hard to tell if any of these are still being shorted as theres no up to date info

updated yesterday with the short position as at 15/1/2021

WallStreetBets are hyper focused on this now so they've identified GME, AMC, BB, BBY, KOSS, NOK, and NAKD as heavily shorted companies that still have potential.

AMC yes

NOK no, but it's gaining momentum with the same WSB group

Every stock that's shortable is being shorted to some degree.

It's when a large percentage of the shares in circulation (20% would be considered high, for reference GME was shorted 150%) are shorted that they have the potential to short squeeze.

Good idea.

Currently holding AMC and NOK. Up in AMC, down in NOK.

Let's see how today goes.

I thought this article from VICE summed it up nicely.

Fun to watch but crazy at the same time. Who knows what the ramifications will be if Melvin goes under...I'm thinking Pension funds etc.

They will have already closed out their positions!!!

I've no idea what's going on. Basically the little guys taking on the financial giants at their own game. And all of a sudden the giants are crying foul. Fascinating.
